Woodlands Park Community Kindergarten
About the Business
Welcome to Woodlands Park Community Kindergarten! Located in the serene cul-de-sac of Minnehaha Avenue, Woodlands Park, our institution offers a peaceful and nature-filled environment where young tamariki can explore, share, and understand their world.
At Woodlands Park Kindergarten, we provide early learning opportunities for children aged 2 to 5 years. Our curriculum encourages them to try new activities, engage in messy play, dance and sing, play games, and explore their interests. Group outings, celebrations of special occasions, and the chance to make new friends in a supportive and nurturing environment are all part of the experience we offer.
We believe in empowering tamariki through tuakana teina relationships, strengthening their mana, and encouraging them to take an active role in their learning environment. We create a safe space where children feel comfortable making mistakes, taking risks, and developing their own working theories at their own pace.
In line with the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, our kaiako (teachers) work in partnership with whanau (families) to ensure active participation and protection for all. We integrate te reo me ngā tikanga Māori (Māori language and customs) into our daily practices, fostering an understanding of Aotearoa's histories and cultures. Our curriculum framework, Te Whāriki, is intricately woven into our philosophy, guiding our approach to early childhood education.
We celebrate cultural diversity and strive to acknowledge the language and cultures of each individual tamariki in our learning environment. As an independent, registered charity community group, our kindergarten is run by a management board of parents who are elected annually. Our aim is to deliver high-quality early childhood education to the youngest members of our community.
If you are interested in enrolling your child, we accept tamariki onto our waiting list from the age of 2. Our Head Kaiako is always available to speak with new whanau and answer any questions you may have.
Join us at Woodlands Park Community Kindergarten, where your child's early learning journey will be nurtured, celebrated, and supported in a beautiful natural setting.

Reviews
"My three children have all attended Woodlands Park Kindy over an eight year period and it has consistently shown the utmost aroha, care and nurturing for the tamariki. This kindy attracts the most wonderful kaiako who form deep bonds with tamariki and ensure they find great enjoyment in their days in kindy. It is an intimate group of only 30 tamariki in a beautiful nature setting. There is a lot of outside play and activities to stimulate and engage tamariki, whilst ensuring they can direct their own play."
"Fantastic kindergarten. We currently have 1 child there and 1 child who use to go there. The child who use to go there has fond memories, strong friendships and bonds that continue years on. The teachers are warm, caring and passionate about our children. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge between them all and every day our children are learning new and exciting things while having a bundle of fun doing it! The teachers are very approachable, and parents are well informed of daily activities, which we personally love, as it is a great discussion point with our children after the Kindy day has ended. Highly recommend."
"We've had two kids at this wonderful kindy and they've both absolutely loved it. The teachers are fully engaged, kind and nurturing, and the children really shine in their care. The kindy has lots of great resources and a gorgeous outdoor playground. Highly recommended to all."
"Our kids love being there. The teachers are so welcoming, warm, and really put a ton of effort in teaching the kids so many different things. The place itself just wonderful with a great outdoor space for the kids to run around. The sandpit is a favourite of our boys. We’ve had a fantastic time at the school."
